Kris and Niamh Gladwell have been happily running the stunning hotel since making the move up from Newcastle in July last year.

They feel warmly welcomed by the local community and have happily settled into their new life and business venture in Urunga.

They have found the Urunga experience to be a fantastic one and the holiday season they recently experienced to be very successful and busy.

Their 5 year old daughter Rosie has just experienced her very first day of kindergarten and is enrolled at the local primary school.

Pop down to the Ocean View Hotel and say hello if you haven’t already.

Since taking over, the Ocean View Hotel restaurant has received a new menu update.

Kris and Niamh have kept on all the previous hotel staff and really enjoy working with them all. 

“Everyone has been great, we have settled in really well as a family and are happy with our life in Urunga.

“Locals and the whole community have been really welcoming and it’s been a great holiday season for us.
